### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a friend get together game night!
*by B***A on January 1, 2026*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mystery

So much fun!!! Had to put our thinking cap on for it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved This!
*by L***N on November 11, 2025*

Loved this! I was so impressed! We did this at a little group party, some were kids and they had fun too! The younger ones enjoyed the texts and emails the most feeling like they were getting all the tea lol I feel like if you're really paying attention the answer is definitely there, it's not out of the question, not convoluted- there is a definitive answer to find, while challenging enough in the way anybody really could have done it because anyone's motive is plausible to varying degrees. I especially enjoyed the fact that I could look freely through anything and everything as much as I wanted to because there was no solution and even no clues or hints in the box- those have to be looked up separately online (and it's very easy to lookup - they give you the website for clues and a separate web page for the solution on a page stuck to the front so that you can't miss it, and also can't accidentally get the solution while looking for a hint- that in itself, having two separate web pages, is very thoughtful). You literally just open the box and have at it which, for me, I enjoy the most. I find it more immersive and less confusing than the "now open envelope 3 but don't glance at envelope 4 too directly yet or the plot is ruined" format. 10/10 will recommend and buy again.
